Wayne Rooney said on Thursday that he has no plans to leave Manchester United, despite reports that his agent Paul Stretford had traveled to China to discuss his future with Chinese Super League clubs.
2月23日，韦恩·鲁尼表示，虽然有报道称他的经纪人保罗-斯特雷特福德曾赶赴中国与中超俱乐部商讨他的未来计划，不过，他并没有打算离开曼联。
The Manchester United and England player told the UK's Press Association: "Despite the interest which has been shown from other clubs, for which I'm grateful, I want to end recent
speculation and say that I am staying at Man United. I hope I'll play a full part in
helping the team in its fight for success on four fronts. It's an exciting time at the club and I want to remain a part of it."
British media speculation surrounding a possible transfer of Manchester United and England skipper Wayne Rooney increased as United manager Jose Mourinho said he would leave the decision up to the player if he chose to head for a Chinese Super League club before the Chinese transfer window slams shut next Tuesday.
At a news conference early this week, Mourinho said he was leaving the decision up to Rooney, doubling down on a statement made in January that he would not stand in the player's way.
"You have to ask him. Of course, I can't guarantee (he will stay),"Mourinho said at a news conference on Tuesday. "What I can guarantee is that if one day Wayne leaves the club, it is not because I want him to leave the club. I would never push a legend of this club to another destiny.”
The 31-year-old England international, Manchester United's leading goal-scorer of all time, has become increasingly marginalized at United, having started just three of the club's 12
fixtures this year, leading several Chinese clubs to believe the player could be
tempted by a big money offer.
